World no 1 Rory McIlroy and Offaly man Shane Lowry, who landed a hole-in-one, remain firmly in contention at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, despite losing their shared overnight lead to Swede Henrik Stenson.

Graeme McDowell and Shane Lowry have both been eliminated from the Volvo World Match Play Championship after losing their final pool matches, to Joost Luiten (2up) and Pablo Larrazabal (2&1) respectively.
